mySQL novice help

About 2 months ago i installed Apache, PHP4, Perl and mySQLonto this machine to become a webserver. Due toexams i have had not had time to work on my server. Now that i do have time after my exams i have forgotten my username and password for the mySQL database. I know there will be no wayto find the password and i will probs be able to get it right there is onlya few passwords i use or a few in diffrent combinations. How would i find out my username.

Is this is not possible i would install mySQL again. What files would i need to edit in Apache, Perl and PHP4 toget it all working again?
